oops, guess that just says “Have you played today?” I could’ve sworn it included “been”; guess I was just influenced by the main sign.

I think I spy a triple fail…obviously, the spelling, the outright stating of having exceptions, and the aptly placed sign tacked underneath: “Have you been played today?” lol

Not a fail. By Acceptions they mean that they will refund you if you buy the same product cheaper then they sell it for. They probably should make it clearer though.

FAIL!

It’s ‘except’, not ‘accept’.

By: MoRo1212

accept those spoken outside the US? Apparently you don’t know English very well. Maybe you mean ‘except’? Learn your own language. Please.

Robstown is NOT a hick town. Especially considering like two people in my graduating class of 225 were white, the rest were Hispanic (and one African-American).

Anyway, that sign had been there for at least 5 years, and I always passed by it thinking “Nobody has thought about changing that sign?”

Perhaps by “some acceptions” they mean
“we will also accept some things”.

Perhaps it is not a fail at all, instead a misinterpretation by everybody here.

Although, it is probably a fail.

Multiple Fails. The contradiction, the grammar, the spelling, the punctuation, the changing from normal title text i.e. capitalising the first letter in each word to all caps mid sentence, three different fonts.
I think they have managed to get almost as much wrong as is possible.

You should pick up the Bronowski book, I have been digging through the empty space in my head but can only remember snippets. I guess it is time for me to pick it up again.

Yes, but they are four legged with the head closer to the ground and have developed other defensive abilities. We developed the advantage of standing erect so as to scan the horizon in search of food or predators and exposing our brains to higher temperatures. Hair stays on the head to protect the brain while the body is converted to a blood cooling unit.

Ok. Aren’t there other animals in Africa that are furry AND active during the day?

Ugh! Bronowski, not Bronowsky!

By: Marius

Marius — Thu, 14 May 2009 15:14:33 +0000

In the early stages we had to hide from predators as they had all of the advantages before we armed ourselves. To survive we needed to be active when they were inactive during the heat of the day.

By: Arthur Eld

Arthur Eld — Thu, 14 May 2009 15:06:19 +0000

Sounds reasonable, Marius and fluffy. Although I don’t know why humans were active while others were resting. The Spanish still hold siesta when it’s hot…
.
fluffy, surely nobody says that. But a change like that has to have huge advantages. Which I fail to see, even if parasites and cooling might be an answer. Considering diseases – they (bacteria and viruses) evolve too.
.
But thank you all, I now find that mystery a little less mysterical.

Humans did not evolve the same way other animals did. We’ve become hairless, clawless, with mediocre teeth and we’re not very strong. Yet we kill all our natural enemies using our big brains and tools.
We lost our hair because we didn’t need it anymore. Like the Admiral said, it was a hazard with all the parasites living in it. We do have some left because we find it sexually attractive. We’ve also developed the sweating cooling system and the ability to create clothing and shelter.
No one ever said evolution was perfect. It’s not. If it was perfect, there would be no diseases, and we’d all live happily ever after. With our unicorns.

Sadly most of those post world war two are known worldwide, and to
simplify that canada and mexico have many of those languages
spoken among their native tribes so basically he would be completely
unable to comprehend any language whatsoever

By: Marius

Marius — Thu, 14 May 2009 04:49:09 +0000

It’s Darwinism. When man discovered fire all of the hairy humans burst into flames leaving the hairless to rule the world.
.
I believe it has something to do with the development of a more efficient cooling system. Perspiration evaporates off the skin instead of being absorbed by hair. It all ties in with standing upright and being active during the heat of the day when our competitors are resting. Try reading The Ascent of Man by Bronowsky.

Your post hurts my brain. It should read “except”, not “accept” and “spoken”, not “spoke” go back to the engrish forum from whence thou came.
